Empire United’s coaching staff is a collection of the best coaches available in western New York. They bring with them playing and coaching experiences at the highest level the game has to offer. We have current and former professional and collegiate players and coaches from all across the country. We rotate our coaching staff every two to three years to ensure our players have a full spectrum of styles and approaches to the game.
All coaches working with each team are selected by the Director of Coaching. Managers or parents are not permitted to train or coach any team without board approval.
The coaching assignments could change before the start of tryouts for head coaches. Assistant coaches are all tentative and will likely change based on tryout numbers and which age groups will demand multiple coaches.
